This was delicious and it was just about the ugliest thing I have made in ages. In the future I would probably add some jalapenos and pickled red onions on top but this was a big hit as is.
Weekly Lunches: #5
Andrew was working from home but I still managed to knock out five full lunches so I’m feeling pretty good about myself right now. Maybe not the best food on Earth but any food is good food.

Menu: High Tea
Another birthday weekend but this I’ll be hosting an afternoon tea for my friend which I’m making all sorts of sweets and treats for. Hopefully it will go really well and maybe at a future time I can hold bigger tea events for more people.

Recipe: Goat Cheese, Pesto, Tomato Tart
This is a pretty simple recipe though it takes more time to come together then I thought it should. The result is absolutely spectacular though and worth the effort. I’d suggest using really good goat cheese and the freshest tomatoes you can find because there’s no hiding behind bad ingredients here.
Goat Cheese, Pesto, Tomato Tart

I think this was a pretty successful week actually. I might have actually made everything that was on my menu in the correct order actually which almost never happens. I think the results are that are great because it’s so colorful and nice.

Weekly Lunches: #3
Turned out that making sushi rolls with the rice on the outside was much more difficult so next week I’m going back to some old standbys to get my confidence back up but this week was pretty neat and experimental at least.

Well the weather did not get the memo that it’s spring now. It’s been snowing for three days here and honestly, one of them was one of the biggest we had all season but I’ll keep at it.

Recipe: Vegetable and Biscuit Bake
This is a delicious and homey dish. A little bit like a mix between vegetable pot pie and a casserole, it’s perfect for when you’ve got the cold weather blues. You can use canned biscuits to speed it up too. I’d also suggest doubling the casserole part without the biscuits if you’re going to freeze it.
